Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Victor Osimhen if Harry Kane leaves the club this summer, but the Napoli striker is not interested in a move to the Lilywhites.
Harry Kane is now into the final 12 months of his current contract with Tottenham, and the North London side face a dilemma. The talismanic striker could transfer away this summer, or he may move on for free next year.

Bayern Munich are the main club pushing to sign Kane at the moment. The German giants are hopeful they can make a transfer happen this summer, and are believed to be returning with an £80m bid for Kane in the near future (Daily Mirror).
However, Tottenham are thought to be prepared to offer Kane new terms, with a contract worth £400,000 a week, to persuade him to remain at the club (Telegraph).
Tottenham obviously do not want to let their star man go, but are naturally preparing for life without him. However, their interest in Victor Osimhen may well prove to be fruitless.
That’s according to Christian Falk, who told GiveMeSport the following: “Everybody’s trying [to sign him] and he’s also in the ideas of Tottenham as an alternative if Harry Kane is leaving.
“But I heard Osimhen is not so interested in going to Tottenham.”
The Nigerian is one of Europe’s hottest properties and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis recently told Mediaset (via MailOnline) that he would want £170m for the player.

I see no reason why Victor Osimhen would join Spurs when he can play Champions League football with Napoli or have his pick of almost any other club that can also offer that.
Not to mention the fact we are not able to afford his transfer fee. There is no way we are signing Osimhen.
